ABSTRACT:
Objective: Personality disorder is a multifactorial disease in which stress in the workplace plays an important role. This study was conducted because of a lack of information on the role of stress in the workplace, which can cause personality disorders among nurses. Our goal was to assess the prevalence of personality disorder in nurses working in Services hospital Lahore and BVH hospital Bahawalpur and to assess the factors that affect their occurrence. Place and Duration: In the Emergency and Psychiatry departments of Services hospital Lahore and Bahawal Victoria Hospital, Bahawalpur for six months duration from 1st March 2020 to 31st August 2020. Study plan: In this cross-sectional study the personality disorders of nurses working in various hospital departments were evaluated based on Minnesota Multiphasic Personality Inventory-2 (MMPI-2) test. After the completion of questionnaires, data were entered to MMPI-2 test’s special software and the final result was interpreted based on the opinion of a clinical psychologist. Finally, multivariate logistic regression model was used to assess the independent effect of the mentioned factors on prevalence of personality disorders in nurses. Results: We collect data from 2 groups of participants (No. 206). These groups included nurses in emergency departments and nurses in other hospital wards. The median age was 32.5-6.9 years. A multi-variable logistic regression analysis showed that the history of accidents or serious injuries increased the likelihood of personality disorders being detected by 3.8 times (ratio [OR] to 3.84; 95% IC: 1.33-11.06;1.33-11.06%; P to 0.01). In addition, last year it was 2.2 times the event (2.23 OR; 95% CI: 1.18 – 4.22; P to 0.01) in both groups. Conclusion: The present study showed that there was no significant difference between emergency departments and other units of hospitals regarding the prevalence of personality disorders among nurses. Overall, somatization, hysteria, and pollyannaish were the most common personality disorders among the studied population. Keywords: Personality Disorder, Fatigue, Professional, Workplace, Nurses
